   Why bother with a wrap? Be much cheeper to just get the paint and spray it yourself.

   Get some balls and paint it matte...
   
   I have a wrap cut up for me, but i dont want to use it, its blue camo. Looks sick! Right up my street!
   
   The cost of wrapping would be the cost of painting anyway.
   Decent vinyl isnt cheap

    I think it's down to the fact that some people say it dosen't cost as much as a respray so they think it can be done on the cheap.
